Our mini cruise is our most popular break and a great way for you to take your stag or hen party to Amsterdam. You’ll spend 2 nights onboard our cruise ferry, where there’s plenty of ways to have fun, plus up to 5 hours in Amsterdam.
If you would like to stay in Amsterdam for longer, then our hotel break option is perfect for you. Choose from one of our specially-selected Amsterdam hotels (ranging from 2 to 4 stars) and choose your own return date on one of our daily departures. We also have our cruise & stay break, allowing you to book your own accommodation and stay as long as you like for total flexibility.

Celebrate in Style
With a mini cruise to Amsterdam from DFDS, there’s no need to pack yourself into cramped seats on a train or a budget flight as you celebrate your stag or hen weekend.
Stretch your legs and enjoy all of the facilities onboard our modern cruise ferry. Get your hen party or stag party together and hit one of the onboard bars or club for drinks, live music and entertainment! There’s also a cinema, games room and a casino, plus outdoor deck areas with sky bar. Once the night is over, head to your cabin for a good night’s sleep before the celebrations continue next day. We have a range of cabins available – select your preferred cabin type when you book.
